The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A laid-back social simulator set in a strange small town, where you customize your character and interact with judgmental NPCs, all accompanied by a chill soundtrack.

What players say

Players appreciate the emergent social interactions and character variety in a college town, but note janky controls, no proper tutorial, and poor performance. It is a slow-paced life sim that requires a specific taste.
